More resources available for flood victims in South Dakota

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is making resources available to three South Dakota Counties affected by summer flooding.

Brookings, Deuel and Moody have all been designated as contiguous disaster areas, qualifying residents will be eligible for federal assistance.

Under the designation announced by USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack, producers are eligible to apply for Farm Service Agency Emergency Loans and the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program. FSA will take into account losses, security available and repayment ability.

Clay, Union and Yankton Counties are among those who are eligible for loans and assistance which started last month.
